Chapter 289 Defeating Linus.
Persuaded by persistent arguments, Kate eventually dismissed her doubts.
George fixed Linus with a fierce stare, consumed by deep animosity, longing for a direct confrontation.
The characters of the second and third sons of the Lowes were markedly different. The third son, Hendrick, is more composed and steady. It’s hard to imagine how Linus manages to be the elder brother.
Should I distance Madam from Mr. Linus to shield her from his folly?
Yet George wondered, if Kate recognised Linus‘ foolishness, perhaps it could be advantageous after all.
Madam had become remarkably astute! Were it not for Boss and Lucas‘ prompt actions, their exposure would have been inevitable by now.
Being a bit naive is better, isn’t it?
In the end, Kate chose not to join Linus at the bar. Instead, Linus paused briefly and took Kate to the Lowe Group’s shopping centre.
The fifth floor of the shopping centre featured a game centre.
Linus ushered Kate into the game centre, while George stood nearby with a few bodyguards, hist expression inscrutable as he watched.
George struggled to grasp how events had unfolded in this manner.
Observing Linus and Kate playing games together, George quietly rubbed his temples.
What course of action should he take? He harboured genuine doubts about Linus’s reliability.
Bringing Madam to the game centre! It was a diverse crowd there as well!
Yet, there were more children present, which made the atmosphere somewhat more manageable.
Meanwhile, Kate was delighted to engage in games with Linus. Who could say how long it had been since she last played? This time, she thoroughly relished the experience of playing alongside him.
While Kate had a great time, Linus’ face showed disappointment, grappling with a sense of discontent.
How could my dear Kate outshine me in video games?
It felt like I was being utterly defeated! At first, Kate seemed a bit inexperienced, but once she got the hang of it, I was no match for her at all!
As her brother, his dignity was completely shattered!
Kate stood up from her seat, brimming with excitement, and looked eagerly at the claw machine across

Linus‘ eyes lit up at the challenge. “Alright, Kate! Just so you know, I’m not taking it easy on you!”
Kate smirked. “Linus, you’ve never managed to beat me at the claw machine since we were little!”
Linus was speechless,
He pouted, feeling a bit hurt. “That’s because I let you win! You’re my sister. How could I beat you?”
He refused to admit that he just couldn’t outdo Kate at the claw machine.
They exchanged a handful of game tokens and excitedly made their way to the claw machine.
George sighed quietly.
No matter how absurd the process was, at least for now… I managed to divert Madam’s suspicions. It’s best to keep the secret from her for a little longer.
Half an hour later, Kate gleefully hugged a pile of dolls and teased Linus, “Looks like you lost again, Linus!
Speechless, Linus held a couple of dolls, his eyes fixed on his sister.
He couldn’t deny it he simply couldn’t keep up.
After several years apart, Kate had only grown more proficient, far surpassing her childhood prowess.
As her elder brother, he felt inadequate.
Kate quickly handed out a batch of dolls to George and the bodyguards. Initially serious–faced, the bodyguards put on the dolls, instantly transforming into a comical sight..
This group of people also drew a lot of attention, yet each of them wore masks, hiding who they were.
But at that instant, in a secluded corner of the arcade, a person dressed in black with a baseball cap watched Kate intently from behind. Moments later, he pulled out a phone and called, “They’re coming down the second elevator. The target has a bunch of dolls, and so do the bodyguards, which might obstruct the view.
I’m cutting the power now to create some chaos. Take your chance!”
